The Update
“Flowers for Algernon”
The Update
Objective
Compose a fictional narrative using specific vocabulary and information to accurately exhibit the character of Charlie Gordon.
Directions
Pretend you are Charlie Gordon. You wrote your last progress report on July 28, 1965, which has long passed. Explain what you are doing with your life now. Where do you live? How do you feel? Who are your friends? What are your future plans? Be sure to accurately portray the character of Charlie based on “Flowers for Algernon.” In other words, be creative, but be reasonable.
Once you have revised your work, record your progress report on your iPod using the iTalk application. Save your file as your last name, followed by FFA (for example, RodriguezFFA).
